BEWARE of letters from people with an obvious bias, such as Mark Kipling of National Express (Letters, June 29).

It’s his job to say how wonderful buses are, and that the bus lanes should remain, but the fact is that more people travel by car and that isn’t going to change, so they should take priority.

He says that one bus can take 50 cars off the road, but that doesn’t allow for the numerous buses trundling around the city with only a handful of passengers on board, and they are taking up the ‘scarce resource of highway space’. Let’s call it road.

Let the buses run without subsidies and bus lanes, which the motorist has paid for in over taxation, and see how they fare. All puns intended.
